Paint empty soup cans bright summer colors, poke holes, and add a candle inside for an inexpensive lighting option. These would be adorable as a summer outdoor xmas lighting idea. but i don't eat that much soup...

Painted Tin Can Lights - freeze cans before drilling. I think it would be easier to use a paint sprayer. Use your wedding colors. Maybe, if using big paint cans- put a bunch of string lights in one can, if using soup cans- 1 bulb in each can. Could line the isle with them.

Paint soup cans different bright colors and poke holes in them. Place a tea light inside for fun decor.
